Send To Menu lacks normal features

My Send To menu does not have the "normal" options on it. Instead, it
has only options to Send To my various hard, network, and CD drives
(all of them) and an option to SendTo the SendTo menu.

If I look in c:\users\me\SendTo it has all the standard options. But,
they don't show up when I right click. I can add items to it, but they
don't show up.

Other users on this machine work fine and DefaultUser looks fine too
for setup.

Ideas?

Hi,

What does this folder contain?
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\ SendTo

The location you listed is nothing more than a junction point that refers to
the above location.

Hi Bob,

You might see if this tutorial can help restore them back to the Send
To menu for you.

Hope this helps,

Typing shell:sendto in the Start Menu Search box is the quickest and most
repliable way of getting to the right location (in case folders have been
reidirected).

It has all the 'normal' options but none of them show up when I right
click on a file.

All the options are already there but I did follow through on this
just in case they were damaged. It did not help.

In that case, you might see if running a "sfc /scannow" (no quotes
command can find and fix any bad system files that may be causing this

If that does not help, then you might try a System Restore using
restore point dated before you had this problem

Hope this helps

Hi,

Run regedit, navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders

Does it contain the correct value for the SendTo string?

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Se ndTo

It's unlikely to be a system file problem. It's much more likely to be a
registry problem.

Hi SS

Agreed. A System Restore would most likely work better, but it woul
not hurt to run a "sfc /scannow" command to be safe
